5 Reasons Samantha Jones Should Be Everyone's Spirit Animal

1. She’s the ultimate example of self-love.

Samantha does what she wants, when she wants. Samantha knows how to make herself a priority in this world, a skill that many lack. The ability to choose to love yourself, and choose your happiness, even in situations where doing so is really difficult, is vital in this world. The best example of this is Samantha ending her relationship with Smith Jared to spend more time “finding herself” again. Samantha knows who she is and exactly how she wants the world to perceive her – and while she loved Smith, she needed choose herself over her boyfriend (something a lot of women understandably struggle to do).

2. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind.

Samantha is the ultimate example of a person with absolutely no filter. She says what she wants, and doesn’t ever apologize for it. While she may come off rather harsh sometimes, her heart is always in the right place. Samantha encourages us all to have the courage to express ourselves freely everyday, and to go through life never apologizing for speaking from the heart.

3. She gives the greatest advice.

Whether Samantha is trying to encourage a friend to take an opportunity, embrace their sexuality, or stop worrying about something she can recognize is menial, she is always looking out for her friends and providing a solid support system and quality advice to guide them. Samantha always seems to know what to say, usually in very few, aggressively put words – probably the best way to receive any information honestly. Samantha is the friend we all need in our lives, and the friend we should aspire to be to others.

4. She embraces her sexuality

In a world that is telling women everyday that they shouldn’t love themselves, that they should hate their bodies, and that they should be subservient to men in various aspects, it's great to see a leading lady so openly love herself, and the men she chooses to spend her time with. There is nothing shameful about Samantha loving herself, her body, and her sexuality. She embraces who she is in all aspects, and shouts it to the world. While her commentary is unorthodox and a little crass sometimes, it's hilarious, and a humbling reminder of how much greater the world would be if loving yourself and others openly wasn’t so stigmatized.

5. She is fearless.

As mentioned several times above, Samantha Jones lives her life completely fearlessly. Samantha does what she wants, when she wants and doesn’t take crap from anybody. I can only imagine a world where every single person had the courage to pursue their dreams, speak their minds, and live their lives exactly how they wanted to. Until that day comes, we will always have Samantha as a reminder of how great that life can be.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
